Let the arrow fly, Kamen Rider Cortana
The announcement caused everyone to become alter before spinning around towards the source of the voice to see Domi with an open green and grey-boarded Wonder-Ride book in one of her hands.
However, what surprised everyone the most is the object in the other hand, a bow with two bladed edges, done in grey, with the centre section being green. Included within the centre section in a rectangular slot.
"Huh?!" Everyone exclaimed in shock as they watched as Domi, who is somehow possessing blue eyes now, closed the cover of the green-boarded Wonder-Ride book, possessing an image of a deer standing in a forest underneath the title of "Flora Elk", before placing the Wonder-Ride book within the bow-like weapon, causing a standby sound to start playing which lasted until Domi grabbed the arrow-like piece and pulled back.
"Henshin!" Domi announced, her tone being completely different, before letting go her hold on the arrow-like piece on the bow-like weapon, causing a light-green arrow, made from Mana, to be released.
This cause everyone to quickly move to the sides, avoiding the arrow.
Let the arrow fly!
The voice announced just as the arrow transformed into a deer which turn around and charged back towards Domi.
Eien No Midori!
Flora Elk!
The strike from the arrow will result in fatality!
The voice announced again just as the Mana-made deer merged with Domi, cladding in her armour with the underneath piece being grey which is covered in green armour. Her helmet consists the colour of grey which is then covered in green armoured-pieces, resembling a hood, and two eye-pieces done in green as well. The sword-horn piece is stylized as the bow-like weapon.
The Clover Kingdom Magic Knights stared at the transformed Domi with stunned expressions on their faces.
"The Heart Kingdom…..have their own….Kamen Rider….." Rintaro in a slow tone of voice.
"Wielder of Forest Bow Eien No Midori, Kamen Rider Cortana, the bows-woman of the forest." The now named Cortana introduced herself getting into a close-combat style fighting stance.
"Now, prepare yourselves, Magic Knights of the Clover Kingdom." Cortana said in a serious tone of voice.
"What?! Was is the me-!" Mimosa began to say, but was interrupted as water started to surround Rintaro.
"Huh?!" Rintaro exclaimed just as the water formed into that of a sphere before flying off in a direction.
"What is the meaning of this, Sir Gajah?!" Mimosa demanded as she focus her attention onto Gajah as the others watched the wielder of Nagare flying away from them.
"There are…..certain things that we must do for the sake of peace." Gajah responded in a serious tone of voice.
"We have to go after Rintaro!" Donna exclaimed as she got out her Seiken Sword-Driver and her three personal Wonder-Ride books out.
The two other present Sword of Logos Magic Knights did the same before they, plus Mimosa jumped off the ship using the aid reinforcement magic.
Quickly transforming in her Golden Alangina form, Espada summoned the golden carpet which caught her and Mimosa.
"What the hell is going on?!" Kenzan demanded as she use "Sky Ninja Air Walk" to run through the air.
"I-I don't know." Mimosa responded, trying to understand the two Heart Kingdom resident's behaviour.
It was at that moment that Kenzan sensed something quickly approaching them, causing the swords-woman of wind to spin around and used the flat of one of the blades of Hayate to block an incoming Mana-formed arrow.
"Hm? You certainly have quick reaction timing." Cortana commented as she…..floated in the air.
"Huh?! How are you doing that?!" Kenzan asked in a shock tone of voice.
"Is this got to do with those native magic techniques that Mr Daishinji mentioned?" Espada thought as the swords-woman of lighting glanced towards Mimosa.
"Lets see how you, Holy Sword wielders of the Clover Kingdom, are capable of fighting?" Cortana questioned as she prepared to fire another arrow.
"Seriously? What is going on?" Joyeues asked in a questioning tone of voice.
"Espada, Joyeues, Mimosa. I'll handle her whilst you continue to chase after Rintaro." Kenzan said as she got in a battle stance.
"Okay." Espada, Joyeues and Mimosa responded before turning around and moving again.
"Done speaking?" Cortana questioned before releasing the arrow.
Kenzan swing one of the blades of Hayate, deflecting the arrow.
"Yup! I'm ready for battle." Kenzan responded in a confident tone of voice.
"But what happened with Domi, something is different with her…" The swords-woman of wind thought, remembering how she sensed something off with the bows-woman of the forest eariler.
Shaking her head and focusing on the opponent in front of her, Kenzan charged forwards, both blades of Hayate at the ready.
In response to the swords-woman of wind charging towards her, Cortana raised Eien No Midori and used the bladed edge to block the first swing from Kenzan and "jumping" over the second sword attack before moving back.
"Wind Magic: Air Ninja's Crescent Slash." Kenzan announced and wind started to surround the twin blades Hayate before swinging them, releasing crescent-shaped slashes.
Cortana swing Eien No Midori in a circular motion, deflecting both of of Kenzan's attacks.
"What?!" Kenzan exclaimed in her head both noticing how the bladed edges of Eien No Midori are covered in a green aura.
"Mana-Skin." The swords-woman of wind thought before Cortana's heart-stamp Grimoire, which has been floating beside her, along with possessing a green cover with leaf-like design, began to glow.
"Tree Magic: Razor Leafs." Cortana announced, summoning four leaves, which took a circular-like shape with the tips pointing outwards, which then started to spin before flying straight towards Kenzan.
Kenzan raised the twin blades of Hayate in an X shape to block the incoming leafs.
"Whoa! Those are sharp!" The swords-woman of wind exclaimed in her head as she witness sparks starting to be produced, making her tilt her head to the side to avoid getting the worse of the sparks in her face, despite wearing a helmet.
"Don't get distracted by a single attack, swords-woman." A voice spoke, causing Kenzan to glance over her shoulder and saw Cortana with a raised leg which she then brought down.
"OFH!" Kenzan exclaimed as the solidified air broke under her, resulting her to fall towards the ground.
With the others, they were intercepted by Gajah who is aiming for Espada and Mimosa.
"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Nest." Joyeues announced, causing a water sphere to surround the two, blocking Gajah's attempt to strike the other two.
"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Spikes." The swords-woman of steel announced again, this time, summoning water-made spikes which then headed straight towards Gajah, forcing him back.
"Don't think you can get off easily…..After laying a hand on the comrade of Clover Kingdom's Royalty!" Joyeues said in a serious tone of voice.
"She certainly possess a powerful aura. But what attribute does her Holy Sword possess?" Gajah thought, a slight questioning expression appearing on his face.
"Well, then….I, too, shall get serious." Gajah said as his Grimoire opened along with markings starting to surround him.
"What….what are those….?" The swords-woman of steel thought, starting to become cautious.
With the wielder of Nagare, Rintaro flew through the air until reaching a giant hole, with water falling on all sides, before falling down it himself.
After a few seconds of falling at a high speed, Rintaro crashed onto a stone ground and the sphere of water trapping him broke.
"W….where….?" Rintaro muttered in a pain tone of voice as he slowly stood up and glanced around at his new surroundings.
"I beg your pardon for the coarse gesture, but for the sake of my country, a trail is need to set." A female voice spoke, causing the wielder of Nagare to turn towards the source of the voice to see an armoured knight made out of water approaching him.
"Who?" Rintaro thought whilst becoming guard.
It was at that more water-made armoured knights started to appear before charging towards the wielder of Nagare.
Rintaro jumped back to avoid the first set of sword attacks before getting his Seiken Sword-Driver out.
"Why is the Heart Kingdom attacking us? Did we made a mistake with the application forms?" Rintaro thought as he took out "Lion Daisenki" before inserting it into his Seiken Sword-Driver and transformed into his Lion Daisenki form.
The water-made armoured knights halted slightly, presumably surprise at Blades's form.
This gave Blades the opportunity to fire water bullets from his shoulder cannons, striking one of the water-made armoured knights before charging forwards and transforming into his lion mode.
In a blur of claws, fangs, and water cannons, the lion-formed Blades managed to destroy all of the water-made armoured knights.
"Well, this is a surprise. A Wonder-Ride book and form we've never seen before, one that allows one to transform into an animal. Things have certainly change." The voice spoke again just as the water began to move before taking on the form of a woman with long flowing hair and wearing a blue "dress".
"Greetings, current sword wielder of Nagare. I am Undine, pact-bearer of the queen of the Heart Kingdom and one of the four spirits." The now known Undine introduced herself.
"She's the great spirit of water?!" Blades exclaimed in his head.
Undine witness the lion-formed Blades make growling sounds.
"Oh my! It would seem that form of yours make you more animalist." Undine said in a surprised tone of voice.
"But whatever strength you gained through that Wonder-Ride book, it won't be enough to defeat me." Undine said before spinning her fingers around, causing a whirlpool to appear and the lion-formed Blades got trapped with it.
"However, I would say you're pretty high on the tier list." Undine commented in a not-so worrying tone of voice.
The water spirit could hear the lion-form Blades making a "Huh?" sound.
"Ah right, as I recall, your country does not use the magic tier system. Here, magic is ranked by ability and prowess, the lowest tier is 9, then, 8, then 7, and so on. The highest tier….is 0." Undine explained before creating water-made chains, trapping the lion-formed Blades underwater.
"I can't move!" The lion-form Blades thought, not worried by the lack of oxygen, whilst attempting to break free.
It was at that moment that a slight splashing sound is heard, catching the lion-form Blades's and Undine's attention and saw Nero diving into the water before transforming into Secre.
"You can't judge magic through ability alone!" Secre said just as her Grimoire opened.
"Sealing Magic: Inverse Release." Secre announced, causing the chains to break away from the water-form Blades, causing him to make a growling sound, hoping to sound that he's saying "thank you".
Whilst this was going on, Undine gained a surprise expression on her face.
The swordsman(?) of water then glanced towards a direction where a shadowy image is present behind a veil of water.
"There's a person over there, meaning there's air. Secre will drown!" The lion-formed Blades thought before grabbing Secre and swim/run towards the shadowy figure, causing Undine to gain a shock expression on her face.
Back with the battle between Joyeues, Espada, Mimosa and Gajah, lightning has started to gather around the Heart Kingdom resident's hand.
"So he wields the attribute of lightning, like Espada. But what are those rune-looking things?" Joyeues thought, starting to becoming on edge.
"Lightning Magic: Tenjioria." Gajah announced before shooting a bolt of lighting towards the swords-woman of steel.
"That's fast!" The three Clover Kingdom Magic Knights thought at the same time.
"But I can dodge it in my Valkyrie's Legacy form." Joyeues thought as she began to move, dodging the incoming attack.
"As expected from a tier 1 magic, but…." Gajah thought whilst having a calm expression on his face.
Suddenly, Gajah's lightning-based attack began to chase after Joyeues, causing the swords-woman of steel to become shock.
"I have commanded my magic to chase you until it meet its mark." Gajah explains whilst his lighting-based attack continued to chase after Joyeues.
However, as soon as Gajah's lighting-based attack closes onto the swords-woman of steel, a lighting/Mana-Skin covered blade came into the attack's path.
"Sa!" Espada exclaimed as she gave Ikazuchi a heavy swing, deflecting Gajah's attack.
With Gajah himself, he had to move out of the way to avoid an incoming attack.
"You okay?" Espada asked whilst glancing over her shoulder.
"I'm good, thank you." Joyeues responded whilst nodding her head slightly.
"Sir Gajah! Please give Rintaro back to us! We will have no choice but to battle if you refuse." Mimosa said with "Magic Flower Cannon" sprouting from the golden carpet.
"Despite having a tier 3 magic, Miss Mimosa has improved this much! And that swords-woman, she'd managed to deflect my attack with just the sword of lightning by itself…." Gajah thought, being slightly surprise with Mimosa's offensive spell.
"….Then let me show you the difference of our levels." Gajah said before sending the floating runes into the sky which then took on a circular shape.
"He sent the runes into the sky….?!" Mimosa thought, starting to gain a bad feeling just as dark clouds began to appear.
"….This is bad!" Espada said, starting to sweat underneath her helmet.
"Humans cannot hope to match the vast amounts of Mana found in nature." Gajah said as more black clouds started to appear and the pages of his Grimoire began to turn.
"True Lighting Magic: Illia Astrauza!" Gaja announced and a huge blast of lighting shot down from the black clouds, causing a huge amount of blackened smoke to emerge, along with causing cracks to be brought into existence on the ground.
"…" Gajah became silent as the smoke began to thin before a small frown appeared on his face.
"That attack struck them dead on, but the Mana of the three I can sense seem strong-!" Gajah thought before sensing a presence behind him, causing him to turn around to see Joyeues, Espada and Mimosa.
However, this time they are joined with a silver mechanical Valkyrie.
"Did that Valkyrie grabbed them before my attack could strike them…..?" Gajah observe as he saw how Espada and Mimosa are no longer on the golden carpet but instead held within Valkyrie Legacy's arms along with noticing how Espada's right side is clad in black armour instead of gold and the chimera-heads being replaced by snake-like heads.
"Sorry, but you can keep showing off, but we won't back down!" Joyeues said as her Grimoire began to glow.
"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Roar!" Joyeues announced, releasing a point-blank attack at Gajahm sending him flying backwards.
Luckily, he managed to regain his sense of gravity.
"Without the defence I placed on myself, I would have been in trouble. The power gained from that large Wonder-Ride book isn't something to reckon with." Gajah thought as a set of runes surround his stomach.
"Now then….?" Gajah muttered before sensing something.
With the lion-formed Blades, he broke through the veil, bringing Secre with him.
"Are you okay, Secre?!" Blades asked as he transformed back into his human form.
"Y-yes. I'm fine that." Secre responded, coughing out some water.
A small smile appeared underneath Blades's helmet before turning his attention towards the figure.
"A….statue?" Blades questioned, becoming confuse as he and Secre stared a the statue of a woman sitting upon a seat.
"But where's the Mana coming from?" Blades thought, becoming more confused.
"….There's someone behind the seat." Secre spoke, causing the swordsman of water to blink underneath his helmet before walking towards the back of the seat…...where he and Secre are met with a female possessing long black hair laying on a giant beaver-styled rug.
Laying next to the rug is a Grimoire with the insignia of the Heart Kingdom on it.
"Haaaaaaaa." The female sighed in peaceful tone of voice, rubbing her head against the rug.
Rintaro, having transformed out of his armour, and Secre glanced at each other.
"Hey…." Rintaro said as he and Secre walked forwards.
Suddenly, the black hair woman suddenly sat up, smashing her head against Rintaro's own.
"Gha!" The wielder of Nagare exclaimed as he staggered back.
"Owowowowo….." The black hair woman muttered whilst holding her head in pain.
"…." Secre became silent as she stare at the two.
It was at that moment that Undine appeared.
"Come on, what are you doing, Lolopechika? I thought I told you to change out of your pajamas already." Undine said just as the now named Lolopechika sat up slightly.
"I'm soooorry." Lolopechika said as she straighten her glasses.
"You're…..the queen of the Heart Kingdom?" Rintaro questioned whilst getting back onto his feet, holding his jaw.
"That's correct, I'm Lolopechika, queen of the Heart Kingdom." Lolopechika introduced herself whilst standing up herself.
"So why did you attack us? This would cause a national problem." Secre pointed out, especially since two members of royalty are amongst the group.
"Yes, sorry about that. But….." Lolopechika began to say before trailing off, a thought slowly appearing in her head.
This cause Rintaro and Secre to become worried.
"Oh! I forgot to water Popratta!" Lolopechika exclaimed as she grabbed her Grimoire and opened it.
"…..You forgot to water a plant?" Rintaro asked whilst glancing towards Secre shrug her shoulders in response.
The two Sword of Logos Magic Knights watched as multiple screens started to appear in front of Lolopechika, showing multiple locations of the Heart Kingdom.
"There you go-some water. Wow! Zozolith and their friends are doing well today. Ah don't run so fast, Micelli! That's dangerous! Oh! Look at this Totor's fruits are growing so big! Old man Kakarasa's cough has gotten better! I'm so glad….." Lolopechika made comments as she observe the multiple screens.
"She's processing information from the entire kingdom all at once! Not only that, but she's able to control the water anywhere freely." Secre thought as she glanced at the multiple screens which show real time footage.
"Her serenity and warmth blanket everything together as one with delicate optimistic demeanour that never falters. That is the queen of the Heart Kingdom…." Secre thought as she retuned her attention back to Lolopechika.
"Come now, Lolopechika. Get it together and go change into proper clothes." Undine said as she stand Lolopechika up and surround her in water.
After a few seconds, the water disappeared, revealing Lolopechika wearing more royal-like clothing.
"The harmonious, beautiful guardian deity of the Heart Kingdom, the omniscient priestess. An existence that we cannot loose." Undine said, yet making Rintaro and Secre confused at the last part.
And there we go, the gang being introduced to the Kamen Rider that resides within the Heart Kingdom, Kamen Rider Cortana, the bows-woman of the forest, who wields a bladed-bow instead of an actual sword, whilst Blades and Secre encounter the queen of the Heart Kingdom, Lolopechika. The OC Kamen Rider idea was given to me a while and for her wielding a bladed bow, that will be explained later on.
In Gotchard:
1) With Houtarou's report about the apperance of Dark King Gigist, Mintato and Spanner, who seems in denial about this claim, talked about how unknown energy signals have been detected within the Ourboros Realm and concluded that only Gigist is capable of making such an effect. The Ryo from Legend's world appeared and informed everyone about the apperance of Hundred before confrontine the three newly arrived generals, Tasogara, Mimei and Saigetsu, who transformed into Kamen Riders Eternal Glare and Dark Kiva.
2) Whilst the Kasshine foot-soldiers started to terrorize the citizens, Lachesis transformed into Valrush-Valvard. Meanwhile, the Riders are having a difficult time fighting the Hundred Riders, but managed to defeat Glare, who was given the finishing blow by Kamen Rider Zein. Whilst Gotchard managed to defeat Eternal, Dark Kiva prepared to summon the Dai-Mazines, but Houou appeared instead, him having destroyed the Dai-Mazines beforehand. Houou then went on to transform into Kamen Rider Legend and fought the Kassine foot-soldiers whilst transforming into the first ten Heisei Kamen Riders before tranforming into Legendary Legend.
In chapter 370 of Black Clover, it mainly involves Asta and Yuno continuing to make their way towards the real Lucius, with the aid of the Black Bulls, where Asta revealed that into to complete his plans, Lucius is performing a powerful spell.
In chapter 371, the battle between Mereoleone and Morris whe he revealed his secondary magic, earth magic. Mereoleone thinks back to the times that she spent in nature, improving her magic, before performing a new spell which allowes her to resurrect the souls of the fallen Crimson Lion Magic Knights, yet also transformed her own body into Mana, before managing to destroy Morris's supposedly undying body.
I was wondering why Lucius is observing the battle instead of getting involved, he making the final preparations whilst the Magic Knights are fighting his army and with Mereoleone, I'm starting to worry about her since she's no longer possess a physical body.
Please review and until next time.
Howard576:
1) The Diamond Kingdom? You're going in the wrong direction.
2) Yes, I am planning on including the time-skip into the story.
3) That...would be interesting to see, Lolopechika will have positive opinions towards the Houses of Silva and Vermillion, but with the House of Kira...she will be like..."what?".
4) Yes, and even though the Dark King has granted Clotho power, I still think that she's still conflicted with the path that she should walk. I suppose that it would makes sense if Gigist is using Geryon's body as a vessel.
Imperial: Yes, Asta would certainly wipe the floor with them.
